LST nearly 1 month considering flowering early

[maldo321]

well title pretty much says it all my plants are 3 and 1/2 weeks old. I want to try to keep them relatively small since im working with a small space for my first grow attempt. each plant has 5-6 nodes and seem to be growing well. I was wondering if when the are 1 month old i could start them on the 12/12 light cycle to try to start them flowering. for veg i have had them on 24 hour light because i had read that it (supposedly) helps the flowering process start/ finish faster. :rastasmoke:

yeah i had noticed the falling leaves as well but i was unsure if i was underwatering or over watering because since they have the same symptom the plants get watered twice daily.

Ouch, yeah that's way too often. You want to basically flood the soil until it flows well out the bottom(more perlite mixed with soil next time for better drainage) maybe twice a week at most. Go ahead and flower now if you want but if you want to take full advantage of the LST you're doing you might want to let it veg and train it for another week or two until you have a couple nice branches going.

This girl was flowered(auto) about a week and a half after starting LST:
